Weddings are one of the most important events in life. It is the moment when we publicly show our love for each other. It is also a moment that each of us wants to make memorable and, above all, special. In this day and age, there is no need to limit ourselves to using our imagination. Still, there are some things that cannot be ignored: the flowers for the bride, the reception, the wedding dress, the photographer, etc.
So, no matter what kind of wedding you are planning, there are definitely things you can save on.
Reception
– The first thing you definitely think about is your guests. Who to invite, how many people you want to come to the wedding, etc. All of these will affect your budget. When choosing your guests, you should keep in mind that they should be divided equally. If you are inviting good friends, you should invite everyone. Otherwise, make no exceptions. It does not destroy social relationships. But it is always personal.
– Another point is the choice of place, date, and time. Having the ceremony and reception at the same place, or at least near the same place, will definitely save money and hassle. Unless there is a reason why it must be in the summer, choose a different date. Off-season is cheaper. Additionally, choosing a weekday will help your budget. As for the time, an afternoon ceremony is best. That way, most people will arrive having already eaten, and a small buffet or barbecue over the course of the evening will suffice.
– Cooking is the biggest burden. If you can afford it, cook for yourself or ask a close relative to help you. When choosing a place, make sure there is a place to store and cook the food. Also, if it\’s cakes and pastries, a handy grandmother or mother can help.
Being resourceful can save you tens of thousands of dollars. Don\’t be afraid to ask for help. It\’s a fine occasion, and your neighbors will be happy to help.
Decorations, photographer, bouquet…
– Documenting a beautiful experience that will be remembered long after the fact is a noble task. That\’s why it\’s a good idea to choose someone who will do everything in their power to make it happen. There must be someone in your neighborhood or your friend\’s neighborhood. Don\’t be afraid to ask.
– Decorating a wedding venue is important to set the mood. But it doesn\’t have to be a big deal. A little something goes a long way. For example, a bowl of fruit will stand out on the table. Not only does it look elegant, it serves a purpose.
– If you really want to save money, don\’t hesitate to give preference to seasonal flowers when choosing flowers for the bride. Or, for example, ask your guests to help you grow flowers. There is no waste in noble work.
– Similarly, when sending invitations, e-mail is the way to go. You can even make the invitations yourself and have them printed only.
If you don\’t think big, you can save nearly 10,000 crowns in this area as well.
Dress
– Every bride wants to look great on her big day. Therefore, the best option would be to have your dress made to measure your size. If you have a skilled seamstress in the family, this method is appropriate. If not, the dress can be borrowed from someone in the family or rented from a rental store. The same goes for men\’s suits.
– Friends will be happy to help with hair and makeup, or if you usually do your own makeup, you can use that. But think of everything beforehand and try to make sure you have everything you need on hand.
A wedding is a unique day. And it should be regardless of the weather. Keep in mind that there is beauty in simplicity. That\’s why even a tastefully made bouquet with ordinary flowers is worth the price of admission. All that matters is that you like it. And the rest is just to understand that it is better to greet your new life with a clean slate, preferably without debt for the banquet or the dress.
